Dear Community,
i am relatively unexperienced with the MERN Stack. I finished several MERN tutorials already though, so i should be able to recognize some things.
Now i am looking for a solution for an boilerplate template, to use it more regularly for Apps that i have in mind. I installed the MERN-Starter/MERN-CLI bc its widely recommended and described as "simple" and "easy" to understand. Unfortunately not for me, i struggle to recognize and understand the structur. The documentation on mearn.io seems to be also designed for experienced users. I think the whole time,i missed a link to a better documentation or tutorial but i cant find any.
The best i found was medium.codaisseur.com/mern-5eb78ad16df6 but they only explain the first steps toroughly. So is there any video or tutorial that goes through it or explains how to build a custom App on top of the MERN-Starter? I know, there is a similiar question from Dec 3, but without an answer i can work with.
Thanks for your help and happy new year;.)
Regards

Hej mrmoehner!
I was in the same situation some weeks ago. I was doing my final project in a team with two other developers, and we decided to move all our server/frontend stack to MERN. We had just discovered mern.io and seemed like a good boiler plate project to restart the buidling of our project. My way around it, and what I suggest you to do is the following:
I don't have a lot of experience, I am just a student. And my group and I made a bit of a risky last minute decision to change to mern-starter, but I have to say that it payed of. We ended up delivering to our exam a better quality project, we got to learn a bit of react - we hadn't had time to go deep, but we will add dew features to our app after the holidays - but we can already harvest a lot of good practices and production ready features like testing, html sanitizing and different environment variables, provided out of the box from the mern project.´ Good luck on your exploration of MERN, don't forget to ask more questions!
